Our church hosted the 2nd annual Party in the Park on June 14th. This is the major fundraiser for our church and a fun, family event with lots of music, food and kids activities. I've been very involved in the planning of the event and was really looking forward to a successful event. We get the whole family involved in volunteering: Steve and Nate helped setup, Steve worked grilling food, Sarah helped sell popcorn, Nate helped in the kids area and I'm the chairperson for ticket sales. Natalie tagged along until Marie (the babysitter) was able to come and pick her up. We had beautiful weather all day - right up until the headliner act -G.B. Leighton - was set to perform. You can guess the rest of the story - 10 minutes after he started, the rain was pouring and thunder and lightning was all around us. Once the winds picked up to about 60mph gusts and a tent went blowing across the field. We had to send everyone home and then stayed to clean up in the rain. My good friend Carolyn is in one of the pictures with me - she co-chaired the event. We had a total of 5 bands playing on 2 different stages - country, Irish, christian, alternative rock and classic rock. Quite a variety and still a very successful event even if we did quit early!
I forgot to mention - Steve took a turn in the dunk tank! He talks a lot of smack which made him quite popular. There was a line the whole time he was in there!
